<p><p>Greetings <a target="_blank" href="http://road.cc">Road.cc'ers</a>. I&nbsp;hope you are well and looking forward to a weekend of lovely cycling action. The forecast for weather is good and despite a three figure (in &pound;'s) service for my hack bike I am confident of getting some miles in&nbsp;ready for winter.</p>
<p>Aside from the mechanical that ended <strong>Bradley Wiggins' </strong>medal hopes in the TT yesterday the main news coming out of the worlds has been the UCI's decision to start phasing out race radios from the peloton.</p>
